Blackhawk #81

Blackhawk #81 from Quality Comics brings the whole squadron together for what the cover bills as "The Terror Raids of… The Flying Flat-Top." The cover by Dick Dillin and Chuck Cuidera puts Blackhawk himself front and center — in his signature blue uniform with hawk emblem — clinging to a rope amid a tangle of struts and cables while explosions erupt around a bizarre craft bearing a leering demonic face, with enemy planes swooping through the background and the familiar portrait busts of the Blackhawk team ringing the top corners. It's a vivid snapshot of the kind of sky-high, pulp-flavored adventure that made this Quality Comics series a standout of 1954.
